Capabilities are a point of complexity and therefore evil ;) There is the possibility that they will be set incorrectly (cut and paste error, whatever) and that the error might not be detected runing under the test host. This casues bizarre/non optimal behaviour and it tricky to catch. If we can get equivalent functionality without using them then its better, and we can. - Steve ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Generalized Music Plugin Interface (GMPI) public discussion list Participation in this list is contingent upon your abiding by the following rules: Please stay on topic.
